| Description | Traditional cheese Lombardy produced with cow's milk, with a crumbly paste and intense taste |

| Appearance | Square shaped with a soft, thin, wrinkled and rose-coloured rind. The paste is white and without holes, compact but crumbly |
| Taste | The taste is sweet, delicate and fragrant, slightly acidic |
| Curiosity | The origin of the name of this cheese derives from a type of fodder: once, when the cows returned to the valley from the summer pastures, around the end of September, the animals were fed with the 'quartirola' grass born after the third cut |
| Suggestions | Excellent as a table cheese served with warm bread; try it also in the preparation of autumn dishes or pies |

| Packaging | Wrapped in paper and vacuum packed |
The producer
Carozzi Formaggi - Pasturo (LC) - Lombardy
Why we chose them
Valsassina, nestled between Lake Lecco and the characteristic Grigna, offers unique microclimatic conditions ideal for cheese production. It is
precisely here that the Carozzi family has been working for over 60 years. Founded in 1960 by Aldo Carozzi, the company is now in its third
generation and is currently managed by Roberto and Donata along with their three children: Vera, Aldo, and Marco. Carozzi passionately combines
the skill of cheesemakers with the most modern technology. In their new facility in Pasturo, Lecco, within a modern environment, human expertise
remains irreplaceable in the aging of washed-rind cheeses, the company's primary activity. With a focus on quality, Carozzi ages all the great
Lombardy PDOs like Gorgonzola, Taleggio, and Quartirolo. But that's not all. New ideas from the younger generation have led to new projects and
products: from fresh goat cheeses to bloomy rinds, and even creamy cheeses.
